1 Now this commandment is for you priests: 2 |If you don't listen, and if you don't choose to give honor to my name,| says the LORD of the Heavenly Armies, |then I'll curse both you and your blessings. I've even cursed them already, because none of you are taking it to heart. 3 Look! I'm rebuking your descendants because of you, and I'll spread waste on your faces, the waste of your festival sacrifices, and you will be carried off with it. 4 |You will know that I sent this commandment to you in order to continue my covenant with Levi,| says the LORD of the Heavenly Armies. 5 |My covenant with him was for life and peace, and I gave the commandments to him so he would fear me. He did fear me as he stood in my presence. Malachi 2:1-5, Intl. Standard Version. Copyright © 1995-2014 by ISV Foundation.
